Chapter 6: The Death Day Party
It was a quiet two months. Nothing much had happened other than the looks from Hancock to Draco. Needless to say he was becoming terrified of the woman.
Eventually everyone in the school got used to the occasional glare from Hancock to Draco.
Except for Draco… he thought Hina was terrifying, Hancock was on another level.
While everyone was eating lunch Haru walked over to Hermione and Ron.
"Say can you guys come with me to a party." Said Haru.
"What kind of party?" asked Ron.
"Well you see I almost got into trouble with Filch and Nearly Head Less Nick saved me from punishment so I owe a solid and because of that I have to go to his death day party." Said Haru.
"No one ever gets invited to a Death Day Party." Said Hermione who clearly looked interested.
"When is it?" asked Ron.
"On Halloween." Laughed Haru nervously.
"You want to go to that instead of the feast?" asked Ron.
That was when Hermione whacked him in the head.
"You're going." Said Hermione menacingly.
"Yes Ma'am." Said Ron nodding.
Haru shivered and thought one thing "Nami might have created monster."
"Haru… why didn't you ask Hina or the other kids from the crew?" asked Ron rubbing the bump.
"They know when I'm trying to trope them into something." Said Haru, "I'm sure you're like that with your brothers."
Ron realized he was right about that part, after all of them grew up with "households" with large amount of kids.
And so Halloween rolled around. It was already looking better than the years before. Except for Haru being invited to the party caused a certain problem for him.
"I'm so hungry…" whined Haru.
"Come on Haru I'm sure there's going to be food at the party." Said Hermione.
"I hope so." Whined Haru.
They got to the dungeon to find it was very dark with eerie blue light from the candles. Musical saws played… however the worst thing was that all the food was rotten.
"I'm so hungry…" whined Haru when he saw the table of food.
"Oh yes Mr. Monkey I am so glad you could make." Said Nearly Headless Nick then noticed Haru was crying, "What's wrong?"
"He's hungry obviously." Said a voice behind them.
They turned around and saw Perona, "I wasn't expecting you here."
"You were invited because your devil fruit powers." Said Hermione quickly figuring it out.
"That's right." Said Perona who began to laugh.
Nearby two ghosts were talking when they heard the laugh.
"Do you hear a turkey?" asked one.
The other on heard it.
"That's strange." Replied the other.
Back with those living…
"I also brought Brook with me." Said Perona.
They turned to find the living skeleton in the fetal position rocking back and forth.
"I'm with Laboon! I'm signing with Laboon." Cried Brook going into his happy place.
"That's too mean." Said Hermione.
"He started it." Pouted Perona.
"I guess it must have been that bad." Sighed Haru.
"When I told Nami and Hancock this plan they agreed as it would be the best punishment for him." Said Perona.
Haru sighed, "I don't want to know the details…" he muttered.
"That's always a good idea." Said Perona.
The three left out of the conversation looked at each other wondering what that was about.
After all none of them knew that Brook's thing for panties.
"Oh it looks like the Waling Widow has come all the way from Kent." Said Nearly Headless Nick.
The ghost went to go see the other guests.
"So what did Brook do?" asked Hermione.
Perona whispered it to Hermione, who began to twitch is.
"He's a bit of a pervert." Said Perona.
"A bit?" asked Hermione, "He's an extremely dirty old man."
Haru sighed, "This is not a good day." He sighed.
"What happened?" asked Ron.
"I don't know… but I do know that you don't want to know." Said Haru.
"What?" asked Ron.
"I'm confused about my sentence as well." Said Haru.
The three students and the Hollow Hollow Fruit user stuck together for most of the party, with Haru and Ron occasionally checking up on Brook.
"Oh no…" said Hermione noticing one of the ghosts, "It's Myrtle."
"Myrtle who's that?" asked Ron.
"She's a ghost that haunts one of the girl's bathrooms." Said Perona, "I feel sorry for her…"
"Why?" asked Ron.
"Because she's permanently stuck in puberty… crying for no reason… being awkward… having to have a dirty old man explain to you what a period is…" said Perona.
"What?" asked Ron.
"TMI Persona…" muttered Haru.
"Did I say that out loud." Said Perona.
The three 12 year olds nodded.
"Oops." Laughed Perona.
"You were talking about me?" asked Myrtle who was the ghost of a student.
That was when Peeves joined the conversation.
"Oh yes, they were talking about how fat you were." Said Peeves, "And how you cry all the time."
"What? I thought you were my friend Perona!" cried the ghost girl, "How could you!"
Myrtle floated away crying.
Peeves looked like a child that knew he did something bad. He turned to the woman he was stalking.
"She's your friend?" asked Peeves.
Perona nodded.
Peeves turned invisible, knowing it was better that way then to cross her.
"Still stalking you?" asked Haru.
"You have no idea." Said Perona.
"Can we go yet?" asked Ron.
"I still have to do something." Sighed Haru.
"What?" asked Ron.
That was when many head less ghost showed up ridding on ghostly horses.
"Ah yes the Headless Hunt has arrived." Said Nearly Headless Nick.
Haru waited for his time to try to get him into the Headless Hunt… what that is, Haru wasn't interested in.
"You really invited living people to this party." Said the leader of the Headless Hunt.
"Yes, they're here to prove how scary I am." Said Nearly Headless Nick.
Perona cleared her throat.
"Expect for as she can control unique ghosts." Explained Nearly Headless Nick.
"Yes… Nick is very scary." Said Haru, in a way that if a background appeared behind him it would be pink and flower filled.
Everyone in the room stared at Haru with one thought "He's a terrible actor." Well Brook wasn't paying attention as he was still rocking back and forth while signing Binks' Sake.
The Headless Hunt began to make fun of the nearly headless ghost.
"Come on let's go." Sighed Haru not wanting the headless ghosts make fun of the nearly headless one.
"Take me with you!" cried Brook.
"Oh right. We shouldn't leave him here." Said Haru.
"If that's what you want…" said Hermione.
Haru stared at his friend.
"You know we should have eased her into that." Said Haru.
"She wanted to know, so I told her." Pouted Perona.
"And yet you didn't tell the ghosts." Said Haru.
"That would have been too evil." Said Perona.
And so the five of them (with Perona joining them) left the party, with the really tall skeleton clutching Haru. They headed up the stairs as they had no idea where to go.
"I'm still hungry." Whined Haru.
"Maybe we should go to the kitchens." Said Ron, "That way we can get some good food."
As they reached the top of the stairs they found a horrible site! Mrs. Norris, the cat that belonged to Flitch the school's caretaker that none liked was hanging by her tail from a torch holder and written in blood was "THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAVE BEEN OPENED, ENEMIES OF THE HEIR… BEWARE"
"What the hell just happened here!" yelled Haru in shock.
Next Time: The entire school is talking about what happened! Rumors are being spread and suspects are being made. Haru, Ron, Hermione and the Straw Hat Kids think it's Draco. And what is the Chamber of Secrets. What is it? Find out next time!
A/N: I personally think that puberty would have been a bad time in Perona's life due to where she grew up. Think about it.
